That’s what I read; it said his wife was already boarded and as he was stepping on, a CM pushed the emergency stop button and he fell when the walkway stopped.I believe the suit alleges that the person fell when attempting to board the ride, alleging that a CM had pushed the emergency stop button and the walkway jolted to a halt, causing him to fall down.
Not sure the haunted mansion case is going to make it to court Disney will probably settle just to get it over with.
But I’m not sure how someone can be sued for an employee believing there was an emergency and using the emergency stop. I guess if there is proof there was no emergency then you’d have a negligence case? Seems odd.
That why I came to read the thread. I was wondering what the haunted house ride was.I don't think I've ever heard it referred to as "haunted house ride" around these parts.
I do believe that the fall was on the moving walkway as you board.
Could it be he was not moving fast enough to load and he wasn't going to make it in the buggy before he ran out of moving walkway.That’s what I read; it said his wife was already boarded and as he was stepping on, a CM pushed the emergency stop button and he fell when the walkway stopped.
But, makes me wonder if the emergency stop was because someone else was falling or the CM saw something happening with this guy
That was my thought too.Could it be he was not moving fast enough to load and he wasn't going to make it in the buggy before he ran out of moving walkway.
In just reading articles he might have a hard time based on what he supposedly is suing for ...
- Disney failing to maintain premises in reasonable safe condition
- He wasn't alerted of a potentially dangerous situation
- Severe & Permanent Injuries but he only wants $50k
He is a local so maybe his goal is a low amount so Disney just cuts a check and moves on.
Thanks.I believe the suit alleges that the person fell when attempting to board the ride, alleging that a CM had pushed the emergency stop button and the walkway jolted to a halt, causing him to fall down.
Wow! It doesn’t take much to entertain you.I don't think I've ever heard it referred to as "haunted house ride" around these parts.

Actually, you can ride HM even if you can't handle a moving walkway. On request they can slow it down, slow it way down, or even stop it if necessary.Ridiculous. If you can't handle that situation, you shouldn't be trying to ride anything.
Oh man, I’m having a rough day and your post really made me laugh!!They should report this on the Orlando news.

That’s ok. I wasn’t offended. I was just messing with you.I didn't mean anything by it - it just struck me as funny. We're all always so proper about our names, and our abbreviations. 99% of the time it's just HM on here. I didn't mean that you needed to change it or anything.
